La Maison des Écrivains, an iconic private mansion nestled in the heart of Old Mans, is located just 50 meters from the magnificent Saint-Julien Cathedral, considered one of the most beautiful in France.

With its refined atmosphere and meticulous decor, La Maison des Écrivains offers a unique and immersive experience to its visitors. This establishment features ten rooms, each inspired by famous authors such as Agatha Christie, Jules Verne, and Ernest Hemingway, as well as comic book creators like Hergé and the duo Uderzo and Goscinny. Each room is designed to capture the essence and universe of the writer it is dedicated to, allowing guests to dive into a distinctive literary ambiance. Whether it’s for a romantic getaway, a cultural stay, or a simple relaxation trip, La Maison des Écrivains promises a memorable stay imbued with the legacy of literary giants. Upon your arrival at La Maison des Écrivains, you will be able to enter and settle in autonomously. Please note! There will be no reception.

Beneath a sky where clouds glide with the grace of forgotten tales, Old Mans stands as a timeless jewel at the heart of the city of Le Mans. It is a treasure trove of history, where each cobblestone whispers legends from centuries past, and narrow alleys meander like the bends of an ancient dream. At sunrise, the golden light caresses the slate roofs, revealing the splendor of timber-framed houses with delicately ornamented half-timbering. Shutters, sometimes painted in soft colors, open onto secret gardens where hollyhocks compete in beauty with climbing wisteria. The scent of flowers blends with that of the sun-heated slate, creating an olfactory symphony that transports the soul to another time. In these alleys, once trodden by the young William the Conqueror, echoes of his ambitions still resonate. It was here, in this labyrinth of ancient stones, that the first aspirations of the future King of England, then Duke of Normandy, were forged. His frequent visits to Le Mans, in search of alliances and support, are etched in the memory of the stones and the inhabitants. At every turn, artisan shops reveal their treasures, recalling the ancestral craftsmanship that still animates this vibrant quarter. The workshops of potters, glassmakers, and weavers, nestled in age-old buildings, tell, to those who will listen, the stories of skilled hands and passionate hearts. The majestic Saint-Julien Cathedral, guardian of this haven of peace, rises towards the sky with solemn elegance. Its stained glass, true poems of light, color the walls of the nave with brilliant hues, inviting meditation and contemplation. The sound of the bells rings out like an ancient melody, echoing the prayers whispered by generations of the faithful, including William himself, seeking to strengthen his spirit for the conquests to come.
